Judgment of these gentlemen in the case OF MI
Walsh with that Of an independent magistrate
I'm the case of Mr.. Walsh's more Formidable CON
fcres.
There is one feature of these prosecutions WHch
/. particularly drOll. Mr.. Wnl'h has been served
not with one summons. but with siN: that Is, one
for each suppressed branch whose meetings he
rcpoItel Mr. O'l}rien was served with three
.umnonscs in n similar way. There are 200
branches of the League now suppressed. For the
,ullcation of each meeting of each Of these
branche> an editor is lia' IL to six months IN
urjsonmcnt with hard labor. Two hurdted branches
NJ six months per branch is hundred years At
the present moment Mr. O'BIlcn and other editors
are committing this crime weekly, and VIII con
tinue committing it. When the whole eighteen
hundred branches are suppressed they WEI be
thus liable to a sentence OF nine hundred years
per week and in the course of a fortnight they
VIII have incurred liability TO a term OF imprison-
mcnt which would equal in duration all the CEN
era The Government. in fact. are ulundering
wildly and Eiindly in everything they have been
srtling their hand TO- and their instruments would
almost seem TO be in ague to eN! osc ana rum
them.
Beyond al comparison the most remarkable
development of these days is the revelations CON
cerning the Lisd,onvarna outrage. You will re
member that at the time II occurred l expressed
tie suspicion that this was an outrage manufact-
urcd by the police to suit the puri oses of the
Government III debate. and | warned you against
setting down this theory will or cXtravagant.
Now IL appears from the testimony of Gull nan,
the nfOrmcr, and other disclosures, that not
only was this putup job, but that the Head
COn>tall., Whclchan. who lost his life while
BIS own plot was being carried into
effect had been engaged for years past in connec-
tion with this Cullinln, in working up crime and
outrage throngh various parts OF the country. lie
was one of a regular staff OF agents irOr0cXteUrs
which the permanent officials OF Dublin Castle and
tie police authorize, have kept employed since
the beginning OF the Iarneil movement The
positions and salaries of these off cias depend upon
tie keeping up of n certain auo0nt Of cline and
disorder IN tie country and as for the Govern
ment itself, everybody Knows how much caDital 1t
makes Of everything which can appear to Justify
Coercion. There Of men in Irish al!s to-
day. the victims OF this Infamous system, inc Iupcs

"Unite lrciand" this week demands a Royal
COmm ,slon to invostig gaze the enterprises OF the
Cast c officials and it adds that nothing but the
appointment Ct such Commission can free Slr
Bafour from the charges Of completely in the
Lis,.oonvaraa outrage, OF which he made snch sus
picIoGsly prompt and effective use In the House Of
Commons. People ask themselves how It was that

IL will be curious to observe whether tue pressure
of public Opinion will be sufficient to con pei the
Government to 70 low mp the verdicts OF the
